How many shallots?

[Lottieval]

Today I dug up my shallots which were planted in March, they have done really well, I had quite a number with 5 or 6 from the original one bulb, but I was really surprised to have one bunch of 8, they were a good size too, Made me wonder what sort of numbers others were getting from one original bulb?

Mine are like yours Lottieval. Most had 5 or 6 and quite a few had 8. One had 9 and 1 had 13 ! They're all nice big bulbs. I grew them in a bread crate.

I'm really pleased with my banana shallots from seed. Especially as my onions and garlic all got white rot. I'm trying onions from seed in modules next month, see how they fare.

OOh, do you want to do a moon trial during September, 1 or 5 seeds every day through the month, into modules, all you got to do is to weigh them at the end and publish the final weights....and obviously keep track of the day that each was sown on?
